Super Castlevania IV - Any% Speedrun in

Nice! I got this new world record today with updated strats, and one hell of a pace to the endgame.

If this isn't one of the top soundtracks in all of video gaming then I don't know what is. Classic.

[@brettharperspodcast]

Totally Agree, love it.

[@leerv.]

It really is, and I know it's blasphemous to say but there are times I like some of the tracks in this more than SOTN. Sometimes.... they're both amazing

[@burns46824]

This and TMNT IV.

[@BrutalMonkey]

This, SOR2 & Secret of Mana

[@linkrules32]

Triple boomerang is legend

[@792p]

Amazing run. You got such concentration despite talking the entire stream about various topics. Congrats for being the fastest at completing my favourite game of all time!

[@ekremsait]

this is my favorite game too!

[@ruatonim]

The power of the Meat Spin in JC's WR runs. Big congrats!

[@ruatonim]

So happy for ya, but a bit sad too, the WR arrived so quickly and I love watching the CV IV streams, it's one of my favorite SNES games.

[@joeshittheragman6252]

Good ole Meat Spin

[@dillona2349]

I've never seen this game speedrun before. It's amazing how you seem to take so many hits (for the sake of speed) yet you never die.

[@paulwellnitz5798]

Loved this beautiful game as a kid. Love watching you crush it even more. Great job sir!

[@mikerzisu9508]

Same, one of my favorites

[@AxiomBias]

dude this deserves more views, so good

[@danielmerritt8063]

I just come back and watch this one every once in a while. The skill is incredible, but you are just as entertaining a streamer as you are a speed runner.

[@mikesykora]

Congrats on the new WR!

[@chimpzchimpington2006]

I wish I could go back to 1991 and show this to my dad

[@BatMan-hf3gt]

Yeah, me too.

[@vegamineral207]

And then he would be like "with all of the possibilities that come with time travel, this is how you use it? You're not using it to do anything substantial to change the world like killing baby hitler, you're just showing me how to speedrun a video game? I raised you better, I'm disowning you son" and then you regret everything

[@LoveFor298Yen]

25:50 onwards, to the end of the level, was intense. Great run, man.

[@megaultradamn]

MBR's Bloody Tears goes well with that whole level

[@chyrolski]

Yo JC, great run! Congrats on your new WR!

[@ЭльдарСкржешевский]

Man, you're awesome! Your run is like a work of art. Complete perfectionism!

[@sevenlith8430]

This run is as close to perfect and godlike as it can get. Running this game myself i can say that is a brutal one to speedrun and that makes it even more impressive.Chapeau!

[@GatorMH]

That was a badass run! GG!

[@jayruka1977]

Meat Spin & Pikachu.. the golden duo. Congrats on the WR!

[@thelastgamer1]

It’s so cool to see strategies me and my brothers used as kids are in a WR speedrun it’s so cool just little things we used to do playing this over and over again as kids great speedrun man way faster than I have ever beat it by far

[@Aphotic_Ktulu]

Told you, meat spin is just normal conversation. GG buddy!

[@waaaluigi]

One of my favorite games of all time, it was great watching you destroy this masterpiece

[@ThEwAvEsHaPa]

congrats JC, great as usual dude GG

[@mikerzisu9508]

This was one of my favorite games ever for SNES. Super ghouls and ghosts was amazing too. I remember being blown away by the graphics and music, and being a huge fan of the original castlevania, this game was to tier top me. Beat it many times.

[@danijetman]

Amazing run! Congratulations Jey

[@drukharimatter2962]

Ahhh, a man of culture I see, knowing about Frodo and the nine fingers. A great world record and playthrough of an all time great.

[@elliottwomack110]

The time it took you to beat this game and the ease to did it in is unbelievable very well done

[@NecrossVamp]

This was amazing to watch!

[@mora503]

Crushed it jayc! GG

[@MrSmegheneghan]

Man, watching Slogra get bodied like that... good stuff, good stuff.

[@vegamineral207]

For real, I hated that fuck as a kid

[@alexitcruz]

You made my day, thank you so much for your run

[@camapxanh]

I love this game, I love your run!

[@RedfishCarolina]

I was a badass at this game back in the 90s but this dude turns Simon into Jedi

[@stefanrobert5233]

to Jay_cee: The way you cleared the near last level with the falling stairs and floating rocks is incredible. It took me a long time to get that timeing down.

[@youisiaint]

No matter how many times I've played through this, that part halfway through level 4 where you're dodging the Medusa heads on that platform always gets me

[@jay_cee583]

Here's a cheese: Stay crouched while under the ring and don't move. As long as you never let go of down, they'll spawn too low and never touch you.

[@SvendleBerries]

@@jay_cee583 A little bit of cheese always makes the day go smoother.

[@SIDEWAYS255]

I really like that you included the post run celebration. GG

[@margraveofgadsden8997]

I’ve spent countless hours playing this game, and I never noticed the skeleton horses outside the stables starting at 2:10.

[@linkrules32]

Well played. Let the boomerangs do most of the killling

[@spriventube]

2 years later and this is still the WR. at this point it might go for another year or two GG neeeerd

[@jaredt2590]

I didn’t know it was possible to beat this so fast, the levels are so long, it always felt like more than 11 as a kid.

[@Slumlife420]

Its nice to know he can moonwalk up stairs

[@funshorestudios]

This game always had the best music

[@Lovedontmix]

Love watching ur wr run. Idk how u can talk and run wr at the sametime. Gg wp and congrats

[@bvoyelr]

Dude. I was clenching for the last half of this run and I KNEW AHEAD OF TIME IT WOULD BE A WR.

[@Shadowstar1311]

This game is so awesome. Congrats.

[@МаксМаксимыч1]

Japan Super Castlevania IV... Akumajou Dracula

[@stefanrobert5233]

to Jay_cee: I like how you can shoot one boomerang and make it last through an entire stage.

[@waldogreen]

Nice tun brotha one of my favorite games for snes

[@michael_swardh]

Amazing run!!

[@carloslaroque]

Great run, god damn it, Jay is the reason I'm on Twitch, just to see this guy having a great time playing video games

[@gideon3401]

Dude, I just watched all your Castlevania runs and the only word I can find to describe them is "beautiful". This run was the most impressive. How many playthroughs do you do to get to a pace like this?

[@vegamineral207]

Bro this so good I thought I was watching a TAS

[@JulianWanderingBard]

19:17 LOL no one can resist this music😂

[@cookiekixx]

That was beautiful

[@Vedenjakaja666]

Congrats mate!

[@salvafichas]

Congratulation bro, saudações do Brazil.

[@kamikaze4172]

I think this is the run where I started thinking that maybe the Belmonts are tax collectors going to Dracula for hoarding mass amounts of gold

[@stefanrobert5233]

to Jay_cee: How long did it take you to get the timing down? You play this game so effortlessly.

[@jay_cee583]

Thanks! It was a month to learn and research all the inputs, and 6 months to practice and be good enough for this clear time.

[@stefanrobert5233]

to jay_cee583: Those are a lot of levels to master in just 7 months total. You must have been playing day and night. You make it look easy.

[@cheesypotat0es]

Very nice run

[@stefanrobert5233]

I just beat Super Castlevania IV today (Sunday 19/5/2024). After so many tries on the final stage. I feel great!

[@stevelegreid]

We’re you at least around when this came out? The music was mind blowing to me as a 10 year old

[@WESLEYALEXANDER13]

1:31 there's an audio skip. I don't know what that means in the speed running world. Just thought it was weird.

[@MrRufioooo]

Inspirational run. I mean last one was a bit more emotional. But this one is perfect 99.98%.... that fucking dancer lol. Congratulations Jay, your runs are a pleasure to watch and so are your acapellas to hear. 🎮🕹💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 PD: Can't wait to see 31:08 😅😅

[@geov.1052]

Well done JC !

[@megadriveleo]

21:08 you knew something like that was gonna happen, my ass clenched hard as fuck there!

[@romellocard2181]

i always thought the dripping waters on the cave at 5:55 were spikes 😢 i always wait them to drop 💀

[@HoneyBunchesMcLover]

Arin “Egoraptor” Hansin - The subweapons are made useless by the multidirectional whipping. Jay-Cee - lol wut

[@PurpleRupees]

To be fair. In a casual context, whip only doesn't make the game much harder. In the NES games whip only is significantly harder.

[@jessicaporter7517]

The poses haha, man the crazy things you'd try to get. Nicely done on yours haha. Wait, do you actually live in Antarctica? Thought that was a joke location on the site.

[@AronUchiha91]

2:49 It is stunningly amazing

[@arliskstudios]

Best castlevania I’ve played, haven’t played the ps1 game yet

[@IgnatzKolisch]

Oh hell yeah!! A very well-earned WR, huge congratulations!!

[@Boucher-d2k]

One more time. Watching this masterpiece... 2024 Did you get that bus that time?

[@GuerraXV]

So hard game, gz bro!

[@AlanCepeda-ty7hk]

Super castlevania rulesss Its a very cool game whith great music

[@_LuxStein]

GG jay_cee!

[@SpicyPunkRockerOfficial]

This game is amazing

[@iexcedo6918]

Hey. You might it even notice this. Me and my step grand dàd would play this game for hours. The music the sounds. I remember typing in codes to get to old check points. The hand written notes he had on what to input. Thank you. Thank you.

[@Flipiris]

that was exhilarating to watch 😄

[@liquidswordz2797]

I love this game

[@muffinbucketman]

That Vegas bridge tho

[@belchmonkey6407]

Dude, it was a stuttered pixel away from ending it!!!!

[@dstock9855]

Is this the current wr?

[@jefethunderiv144]

Gran juego, Felicidades.

[@rigobertochavezjr2026]

Most impressive!

[@jmcomes6621]

Impressive!

[@linkrules32]

As of 10/15/24 wr has yet to be beaten

[@richardmiedo499]

You are the champion of the world, awesome😎👍🎉🎉

[@linkrules32]

How long have u been speed runn8ng games?

[@coryrabbit]

I think my best time ever was just shy of 34 minutes. Now I feel like a bitch 🤣

[@nadirmerahnm]

Bruh you're doing it with a snes controleur, gg!!!👍

[@mikaelsvensson4833]

GG fucking awesome dude!🥰

[@ChaossX77]

Any reason most of your runs are with the Japanese version of the game?

[@Dekaide44]

I remember when these were amazing graphics

[@cbcsup3rg0d]

Shit, they still are, take it from someone who wasn't even alive when this game came out. This game's more beautiful and pleasing to the eye than most RTX games that can only run on NASA computers at 30 fps.

[@patmagh]

1:32 - why does the music skip? Is this pre-recorded?

[@jay_cee583]

Nah it's live. I also don't know why the audio was skipping. It was something my capture card was doing to several of my runs around this time, I'm guessing as a way to catch up from delayed audio frames. Removing filters on OBS seemed to fix it.

[@dankydont]

dope ass wr

[@RedfishCarolina]

Why were the boomerangs doing so much damage to Slogra? That battle takes way the hell longer on my copy

[@jay_cee583]

Overlap the crosses on his body during his invincibility period, that way when he's vulnerable, it deals 3 crosses worth of damage every time. 👍

[@linkrules32]

26:50 lucky mummy spawn

[@linkrules32]

19:46 letting the invisibility win lol

[@Atok595]

You toasted it. I wonder if you tried beating off your own record? I say you should beat it off.

[@truedox]

What anime is that at 34:15?

[@linkrules32]

First playthrough took e forever to beat trolly slogra

[@KCGemini]

Bravo!

[@linkrules32]

Best snes soundtrack. Best trolly boss too 3 before drac

[@josephjohnson8442]

Can you start running Simons Quest again? I know that you can get the WR

[@CyanideSublime]

I have a question. Can AI figure a way to beat TAS's?
